Removing deep scuffs on plastic bumper trims
Hey guys
Topic as above: removing deep scuffs on plastic bumper trims. Tried: heatgun to see if it would relax the plastic and sanding to no avail. Not tried: car brand type fillers, most seem unsuitable for textured trims. So basically, I'm looking for a bit of advice, or better still, tried & tested solutions please. (note: replacing them is not an option!). Anyone? Last edited by leggy; 02-05-15 at 01:02 PM. |
